[Resolved]  ICICI Bank — PLCC Acct closure fraud

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Hi, Product Type : ICICI PLCC OTL Product OTL Account No : [protected] I see that there is a Cash-In-Select Loan account which is still active and accumulating interest and other charges for a very long time till date. Further this was the only reason why my CIBIL score was being hit (which I just found out while applying to a credit facility and that is really shocking me) even though I maintain very good financial relationship with ICICI using various other products and relationships with other banks as well. I would like to know why this account is still active and accumulating charges when I have paid in full and closed this account long before. Also if possible please send me all the jurisdiction information with regards to this account and region so that I can get some clarity and further take this up legally if so necessary, as the customer care is not helping me in anyway. I have spoken to the customer care several times with regards to this but till date there seems to be no response and looks like they are not bothered to respond hence I would like to take this up legally. Below are the last 2 conversations with customer care. Call 1 (23 Jan 2014) : Spoke to Nazeema (SR[protected], who confirmed that this will be taken care-of and I would receive a call-back within 48hrs on the same to discuss and conclude the issue after retrieving the acct info / acct statements from their systems but nothing happened till date. Call 2 (29 Jan 2014) : Spoke to Jyothi (SR[protected], who also confirmed the same as above and she said I will get a call for sure within 48 hrs atleast again. But nothing happened... Looks like they are purposely doing this to delay the process and make me pay this due amount which was a result of their mistake. I am clearly not liable for this at all. They may also come-back saying that I didnt pay Rs.700 in March 2011 and that is when the interest accumulation started. Actually that is a lie. During the last 2 months of acct closure there was a confusion over payments. So when I called customer care about this, they asked me to make last 2 months payment together and then they will be able to remove Rs.700 that was accumulated as late payment fee. As agreed I made the payment of Rs.3500 on 06 Apr 2011 and Rs.3519.24 on 22 Apr 2011 respectively. But they did not or forgot to remove the Rs.700 out of the billing system and that has now grown to Rs.5105.91 which is entirely interest and other charges only. Hence proving that I am not liable to make any of the payments at all. Except the bank closing the account and providing a closure statement and update the CIBIL so that they can properly update and maintain my records. Which will help me in availing the credit facilities from ICICI and/or other financial institutions. Note : I have all the statements that they are looking for (every single month) in my old E-mail. Surprizing element : What's surprizing is that they have never sent me a PHYSICAL BILL or COLLECTION CALL or COLLECTION EXECUTIVE to ask or remind me of the so-called pending payments, after my last payment. Giving a very clear picture that my account is closed and loan settled-off. Suspicion : This also raises a suspicion that why they did not send any PHYSICAL BILL or COLLECTION CALL or COLLECTION EXECUTIVE. Are they are trying to siphon money from the customer without anything on records just by making the customer feel that we owe them where we actually dont ? Finally I also would like a faster updation of CIBIL records and a compensation of the same amount under dispute to be paid to me to make them realize their mistakes out of carelessness from the banks side for screwing up my CIBIL status for nearly 3 years. Thanx & Regards, J*********************** Mobile to reach at the moment : +91-8********6

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have made a note of your contact details. Our official will get back to you soon to assist you.

Regards,
ICICI Bank Customer Service Team.
Im not sure if ICICI has tracked my contact number and other details with the PLCC acct number ([protected]) that is provided in the complaint. Im sure its easy for them to get my contact details just with the account number provided. Im a little skeptical providing the contact details here as I received a call from the above Fraudster user: "helpdesk0001234" on 18 March 2014 who has commented just above REAL "ICICI Bank Care" asking me for all the credit card details in the name of verification. He also asked the 16 digit card number, Expiry date, CVV number behind and finally he initiated an online transaction which generated OTP and he insisted me to provide the OTP and I knew that he is a Faker all along and hence provided fake details coz there were several mistakes he did on the call (Which I dont want to disclose as he'll become aware of these from his next call) . So people please be aware of this kind of high-tech frauds. His details as below...

Name : Abhishek Dutt (He could change his name on every call he makes)
Mobile number : +91-[protected] (Belongs to Bangalore, Airtel SIM prepaid card)
Fake Employee ID : EM[protected]
Designation : Sr. Asst. Manager (There is no such position)

Most interesting part is that he has forged ICICI Bank's customer care number to make people believe that he is from ICICI, while on the call he made a call from a forged phone using ICICI Bank's customer care number +[protected]Old Chennai customer care number) which came as call-waiting and he said that he is the one who is calling and He made the call to make me believe.

In other words he has faked ICICI Bank's customer care number to make customers believe that he is from ICICI Bank.

Above comments is not just for the common public who read this but also for Banks like ICICI to take preventive steps against these Fraudsters...

Note for ICICI PLCC CASH-IN SELECT DEPARTMENT (CHENNAI ACCOUNT) : Please let me know if you guys have tracked my contact details from your systems thru comments here.
These ICICI Bank guys simply just paste the above standard template on the same complaint on every consumer forum where I have posted this complaint and many other complaints (same thing happens to all other people's complaints posted here and other consumer forums) but never ever have they called or attempted to call to resolve any of the issues. Its just a fake promise above to make me as well as the public believe that they care about their brand and their customers. Please do not believe these FAKERS AND SCAM-ARTISTS... This was just a mere formality and a record for me to move up to the ladder of OMBUDSMAN process. And I would suggest and urge everybody to direct every complaint to OMBUDSMAN so that these SO-CALLED BANKERS will be screwed by RBI directly and they think customers are not aware of OMBUDSMAN PROCESS nor they would approach DISTRICT CONSUMER FORUM. They simply think we are fools I'll show them what I'm capable of.
